Can you justify your reasoning behind getting Phantom Edge at level 6? It only really increases the potency of Juxtapose and the magic resistance is hardly noticeable as 10% is quite minimal.

Also that's not my down-vote. I'd like to hear what you have to say about my above comment before voting.

I do like the item build but personally i think the skill build is all wrong. Dopple walk is often maxed early to reduce mp cost and ulti is taken at 10/11 after juxtapose.

Not gonna vote, although i recommend you make an alternate build

Phantom edge at 6 for an additional 10% magic resist is huge, no way I'd skip not having it early, where spell damage is most dominant. Dopple walk and soul ring activation cover each other. Dopple walk is only used as an escape really.

As for the skill build it was actually just wrong, my mistake. Anyway you can skill however you please. The items are what you should only adhere to if anything.

10% resistance is hardly noticeable. If you're after resistance early on throw on a Cloak on top of your level one Phantom Edge. You can easily make it into a Hood of Defiance which will stack with Phantom Edge for greater potency. For instance I worked it out just to show you what I mean...

Imagine Lina level 6 with Reveal and Phantom Lancer level 6

The 10% resistance would result in.... (Based on how I level Lina)

Light Strike Array : 150 Damage is reduced to 135 Damage

Dragon Slave : 230 Damage is reduced to 207 Damage

Laguna Blade : 450 Damage is reduced to 405 Damage

That means she'd still deal 747 damage and that isn't accounting for any other heroes throwing spells at you as well. I really don't see the point in opting a level in Phantom Edge unless it's to bolster your Juxtapose. I'm afraid the viability of this is false.

You have a base of 25% magic resist, upping to 35% magic resist at one skill point is definitely viable :3

You could ignore Phantom Edge and get Cloak for 40% resist :3

Cloak throws off your build order, and you would never buy a hood on PL.

why does this have 38% again

Confirmed on the 25% magic resist here

I'd say Hood would be a situational item. I build it if I'm versing heavy casting teams, cushions the blows quite nicely. And the regen is always good too.
